This is not an easy style of Aikido. The physical demands of the art sometimes end up being more than some individuals wish to pursue. The discipline expectations of kids are sometimes more than many are accustomed to. But those who stay for a while with Aikido are transformed by it. Students are allowed to come and go without financial penalty or pressure. Many take breaks and are welcomed back when they are ready. It is a small student body of ages ranging from 8 to 55 years old. The facility is clean, but not fancy. They are working as a non-profit and putting all income back into the purchasing of excellent mats and flooring, training of instructors and bringing high-ranking teachers here for seminars. The dedication to the art of Aikido and what it can bring to a community is what this dojo is all about. Tuition is kept as low as possible and occasional scholarships are offered and funded by other students so that those who can't afford to train, can. If you want to train, but can't afford to, they will do everything they can to make it happen for sincere students. Donations are gladly accepted.

Second, I believe the cost now for a day pass is $10. Like any gym, there are crowded times and less-crowded times, but I've literally never NOT been able to get a machine. Maybe not the type of machine I wanted, but there is always something available in the cardio section. There is a solid set of group classes to take advantage of, all come "free" with membership. The online page tells you the rating for classes too, so you can avoid those "advanced" classes if you're just beginning. Personal trainers are available and, I've personally found, kick your ass in a good way. Two complaints about the Y: 1. The parking lot sucks. The Y offers a lot of "peewee" sports classes or groups or such, and they seem to all be offered at the same time. So you might be fighting the after-work exercise crowd AND all the volleyball moms in the town. Not fun, but mostly a timing issue. Even when you're not there during peak times, the parking lot still stinks. There's a random vertical section, sort of separate from the horizontal section; the paths are supposedly one-way but no one seems to obey that; and in general, there's not enough room. 2. According to my FourSquare check-ins, I've been to the Y 140 times. Yet when the check-in people greet me (if they do at all), they misread my name as Kathy. I don't think it's too much to ask for regular workers to get to know the names of their regular patrons.

Don't be intimidated if the first few classes you feel lost, I've done 150 classes and still haven't mastered all the moves. This class allows you to amplify and modify moves for every fitness level and ability, it also focuses on doing the moves safely to get the best results. Lastly, with two locations, various times, and different coaches there are many opportunities to try it out.
